ACPICA: Fix mutex errors when running _REG methods

Fixes a problem where mutex errors can occur when running a _REG
method that is in the same scope as a method-defined operation
region or an operation region under a module-level IF block.
This is rare, so the problem has not been seen before.
ACPICA BZ 826.
